Thanks cable works fine but sat does not. I guess new cable for sat connection is the answere.
If the cable works at all then it will work with satellite. The problem is more than likely a splitter somewhere that doesn't allow the receiver to communicate with the LNB. Distribution boxes that control signals throughout the MH have Sat in and Sat out connections that do not split signals but the cable in and cable out connections do split signals. If you have the cable from the electrical bay going through the distribution box (cable ports) and then to the TV the signal is being split and the satellite connection is not being completed because it cannot communicate with the LNB. If this is the case, remove the cable from the box and connect it directly to the line going to the TV. I did this and still had a problem until I found the splitter connected to the rear TV that was sending a signal to the basement TV. Removed that one as well and Bob's you're Uncle.
